Optical waveguide 1 shown in Fig. 1, in banded, transmit light signal, carries out optical communication between light incident section and light exit portion.
Optical waveguide 1 shown in Fig. 1 possesses the duplexer 10 of stacked coating 11, sandwich layer 13 and coating 12 from downside.In sandwich layer 13, be formed strip core 14 and with the flank abutment of core 14 the side that arranges be coated to portion 15.In addition, in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, dotted line etc. is utilized also the core 14 sandwich layer 13 can had an X-rayed from coating 12, side to be coated to portion 15 and to illustrate.
The width of core 14 and the height (thickness of sandwich layer 13) of core 14 are not particularly limited, but are preferably about 1 ~ 200 μm, are more preferably about 5 ~ 100 μm.Thereby, it is possible to realize the densification of the core 14 of sandwich layer 13, thus the transmission efficiency of the light of optical waveguide can be improved.That is, the number of the core 14 can laid in each unit area can be increased, even if therefore optical waveguide is small size, also can carry out jumbo optical communication.
In addition, the number being formed at the core 14 of sandwich layer 13 is not particularly limited, but such as can form 1 ~ 100.
In addition, the index distribution of the Width of optical waveguide 1 and the index distribution of thickness direction can be respectively the distribution of so-called step-refraction index (SI) type that refractive index changes discontinuously, the distribution of so-called graded-index (GI) type that also can change continuously for refractive index.
The recess (blank part) 170 its part removing formed is provided with in optical waveguide 1.That is, optical waveguide 1 possesses duplexer 10 and is formed at the recess 170 of duplexer 10.Recess 170 shown in Fig. 1 is positioned at the midway of the length direction of core 14.A part for the medial surface of recess 170 becomes the optical axis relative to core 14, i.e. the dip plane 171 of the length direction inclination of core 14.In other words, dip plane 171 intersects relative to the planar tilt comprising sandwich layer 13 and the interface of coating 11.Above-mentioned dip plane 171 plays function as the catoptron (light path converting portion) of the light path of conversion core 14.That is, the catoptron be made up of dip plane 171 makes the light propagated from the upside of Fig. 2 towards downside in core 14 reflect towards the paper inboard of Fig. 2, thus the conversion direction of propagation.
Recess 170 is configured to after by orthogonal with the upper surface of coating 12 and parallel with the length direction of core 14 plane cutting, and its section shape is the trapezoidal of the narrower and wider width of opening of the width of bottom.In addition, recess 170 also can be configured to when by orthogonal with the upper surface of coating 12 and parallel with the length direction of core 14 plane cutting, and its section shape is in the triangle taking bottom as summit.
In addition, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, dip plane 171 be from coating 12 via sandwich layer 13 until the tabular surface formed continuously between the midway of coating 11.In addition, the position opposed with dip plane 171 in the medial surface of recess 170 is provided with another dip plane 172.This dip plane 172 also identically with dip plane 171, for from coating 12 via sandwich layer 13 until the tabular surface formed continuously between the midway of coating 11.
On the other hand, in the medial surface of recess 170 with the optical axis of core 14, two faces that namely length direction is almost parallel are respectively the vertical surface 173,174 with the relation vertical with the lower surface of coating 11.This vertical surface 173,174 is configured to, when overlooking the plane at the interface comprising sandwich layer 13 and coating 11, as shown in Figure 2, can observe slight curvature.
The medial surface of recess 170 is made up of 171,172 and two, above-mentioned two dip plane vertical surface 173,174.
If form recess in optical waveguide, then often produce the undesirable unfavorable condition relevant with transmission characteristic, reflection characteristic.Above-mentioned unfavorable condition produces with higher frequency when carrying out the such accelerated test of temperature cycling test to optical waveguide, therefore be thought of as the load brought along with accelerated test, and optical waveguide produce some chemical in or problem in structure.
The present inventor attentively investigates the reason producing unfavorable condition in the optical waveguide possessing above-mentioned recess, studies.Then, found that the reason of unfavorable condition is the splitting produced near recess, the splitting that the sandwich layer specifically near above-mentioned dip plane and the interface of coating produce.Then, found that the generation of above-mentioned splitting is suppressed when the shape of the peristome of recess meets defined terms, its result, the unfavorable condition produced in optical waveguide can have been eliminated, and complete the present invention.
Namely, by when utilizing the peristome of the recess 170 after comprising sandwich layer in optical waveguide 1 13 and the internal face of the plane cutting recess 170 at the interface of coating 11 to be set to " peristome 177 ", the plan view shape of peristome 177 in by with above-mentioned two dip plane 171,172 corresponding straight-line segment 171b, 172b and the ellipse that forms with straight-line segment 171b, 172b adjacent (continuously) and with above-mentioned two vertical surfaces 173,174 corresponding arc 173b, 174b.And the minimum profile curvature radius of the connecting portion 178 of each straight-line segment 171b, 172b and each arc 173b, 174b becomes 1 ~ 500 μm (with reference to the radius-of-curvature r of Fig. 3 2).
According to the recess 170 with above-mentioned section shape, stress in its vicinity concentrating of local is relaxed.Its result, can suppress the position of concentrating with stress to be that starting point produces be full of cracks, interlayer near recess 170 is peeling.Its result, can obtain can suppress the reduction of the transmission efficiency of optical waveguide 1, dip plane 171 reflection efficiency reduction and carry out the optical waveguide 1 of the optical communication of high-quality.
In addition, minimum profile curvature radius r 2be preferably formed about 3 ~ 400 μm, be more preferably formation about 5 ~ 350 μm, be more preferably formation about 10 ~ 100 μm further, most preferably form about 20 ~ 40 μm.
If the minimum profile curvature radius of connecting portion 178 is less than above-mentioned lower limit, then stress easily concentrates on connecting portion 178, thus the probability producing the stripping between be full of cracks with this as the starting point, generating layer increases.On the other hand, if the minimum profile curvature radius of connecting portion 178 is greater than above-mentioned higher limit, then cause expecting further effect, in addition, peristome 177 is inevitable excessive, therefore produces the problem that cannot form less recess 170.
In addition, so-called connecting portion 178 is in the peristome 177 shown in Fig. 3, such as, be positioned at the part between the straight-line segment 171b corresponding with dip plane 171 and the arc 173b corresponding with vertical surface 173 (other parts).In addition, connecting portion 178 more specifically refers in figure 3, L1 is set in the maximum length of the X-direction by peristome 177, when the length of straight-line segment 171b is set to L2, the terminal 171b ' in the left side from straight-line segment 171b in peristome 177 has the width of (L1-L2)/4 to the left, and is contained in the part of the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction.
Identical therewith, the terminal 172b ' in the left side from straight-line segment 172b of the peristome 177 shown in Fig. 3 is had to the left the width of (L1-L2)/4, and the part being contained in the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction is called connecting portion 178.
On the other hand, the terminal 171b on the right side from straight-line segment 171b of the peristome 177 shown in Fig. 3 " there is the width of (L1-L2)/4 to the right, and the part being contained in the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction is also connecting portion 178.
In addition, the terminal 172b on the right side from straight-line segment 172b of the peristome 177 shown in Fig. 3 " there is the width of (L1-L2)/4 to the right, and the part being contained in the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction is also connecting portion 178.
Above-mentioned scope is adjoin with dip plane 171, dip plane 172, the region therefore for easily causing stress specific to dip plane to be concentrated.In the present invention, found by make above-mentioned scope and connecting portion 178 specific, and at least specify minimum profile curvature radius at connecting portion 178, can stripping more reliably between inhibition layer.
In addition, the shape that the rectangular pyramid that recess 170 gradually changes in cross-sectional area is such, therefore the peristome 175 as the open end of recess 170 is in area ratio peristome 177 greatly, and the similarity relation of the part in the relation roughly similar to peristome 177 or compression or elongated openings portion 177.Therefore, the plan view shape of the peristome 175 of the recess 170 shown in Fig. 2 is in the ellipse be made up of upper end, dip plane 171a, 172a and vertical surface upper end 173a, 174a, wherein upper end, dip plane 171a, 172a are formed by with above-mentioned two dip plane 171,172 corresponding straight-line segment, and vertical surface upper end 173a, 174a are formed by with above-mentioned two vertical surfaces 173,174 corresponding arcs.Therefore, even if in this peristome 175, the connecting portion 176 of each dip plane upper end 171a, 172a and each vertical surface upper end 173a, 174a also preferably becomes curve.Thus, above-mentioned effect is more remarkable.That is, near recess 170, when producing the stress along with the change, thermal distortion etc. of structure, this stress is also difficult to concentrate on connecting portion 176.Its result, can suppress to concentrate along with stress and produce and be peeling with connecting portion 176 be full of cracks that is starting point, interlayer near connecting portion 176.Its result, can obtain can more suppress the reduction of the transmission efficiency of optical waveguide 1, dip plane 171 reflection efficiency reduction and carry out the optical waveguide 1 of the optical communication of high-quality.
In this case, the minimum profile curvature radius r of connecting portion 176 1(with reference to Fig. 4) is not particularly limited, but is preferably about 1 ~ 500 μm, is more preferably about 3 ~ 400 μm, more preferably about 5 ~ 350 μm, is more preferably about 10 ~ 100 μm further, most preferably is about 20 ~ 40 μm.By the minimum profile curvature radius r of connecting portion 176 1be set in above-mentioned scope, thus the stress that can relax connecting portion 176 is especially concentrated, and then the generation of the unfavorable condition concentrated along with stress can be suppressed.
In addition, so-called connecting portion 176 is in the peristome 175 shown in Fig. 4, such as, part between the dip plane upper end 171a corresponding with dip plane 171 and the vertical surface upper end 173a corresponding with vertical surface 173.In addition, connecting portion 176 more specifically refers in the diagram, L3 is set in the maximum length of the X-direction by peristome 175, when the length of upper end, dip plane 171a is set to L4, the terminal 171a ' in the left side from upper end, dip plane 171a of peristome 175 has the width of (L3-L4)/4 to the left, and is contained in the part of the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction.
Identical therewith, the terminal 172a ' in the left side from upper end, dip plane 172a of the peristome 175 shown in Fig. 4 is had to the left the width of (L3-L4)/4, and the part being contained in the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction is called connecting portion 176.
On the other hand, the terminal 171a on the right side from upper end, dip plane 171a in the peristome 175 shown in Fig. 4 " there is the width of (L3-L4)/4 to the right, and the part being contained in the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction is also connecting portion 176.
In addition, the terminal 172a on the right side from upper end, dip plane 172a in the peristome 175 shown in Fig. 4 " there is the width of (L3-L4)/4 to the right, and the part being contained in the scope of the band shape parallel with Y-direction is also connecting portion 176.
In addition, not only above-mentioned peristome 175, peristome 177, such as in the peristome of recess 170, the bottom of recess 170 at coating 12 and the interface of sandwich layer 13, the minimum profile curvature radius of the connecting portion of the straight-line segment corresponding with dip plane 171 and the arc corresponding with vertical surface 173 is also preferably about 1 ~ 500 μm respectively, be more preferably about 3 ~ 400 μm, more preferably about 5 ~ 350 μm, be more preferably about 10 ~ 100 μm further, most preferably be about 20 ~ 40 μm.Thus, in optical waveguide 1, more reliably can suppress the generation of the unfavorable condition concentrated along with stress.
In addition, the minimum profile curvature radius of the part beyond the connecting portion 178 of peristome 177 also can in above-mentioned scope, if but in above-mentioned scope, then not only each connecting portion, even if also comprising the peristome entirety (bottom integrated) of the line segment corresponding with dip plane, the arc corresponding with vertical surface, preferred minimum profile curvature radius is also in above-mentioned scope.Thus, in optical waveguide 1, more reliably can suppress the generation of the unfavorable condition concentrated along with stress.
In addition, the shape of recess 170 preferably in roughly tetrapyamid shape, but may not be defined in above-mentioned shape, and in this case, peristome 177 also can be mutually different from the shape of peristome 175.
In addition, the global shape of peristome 177, peristome 175 is formed above-mentioned ellipse, thus above-mentioned effect is more remarkable.Namely, the shape of peristome 177, peristome 175 is formed ellipse, even if thus when supposing to apply the external force of stretching along its length to optical waveguide 1, the shape effect of peristome 177, peristome 175 also can be passed through, mitigation stress concentrating to connecting portion 176 especially.Therefore, connecting portion 178, connecting portion 176 are formed curve as described above, and the shape of peristome 177, peristome 175 is formed ellipse, thus the generation of the unfavorable condition concentrated along with stress can be suppressed especially.In addition, " ellipse " of this instructions so-called refers to that the part at circumference comprises the circle of straight line portion.
In addition, the global shape of peristome 175 is not limited to ellipse, and the part beyond the 171a of upper end, dip plane can be also arbitrary shape, such as, can enumerate the polygon that quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon are such.This situation is also identical in peristome 177.
In addition, dip plane 171 plays function as catoptron, therefore, it is possible to suitably set its angle of inclination accordingly with the direction of the light path of conversion core 14, but with the lower surface of sandwich layer 13 for reference field time, reference field and dip plane 171 angulation (acute side) are preferably about 30 ~ 60 °, are more preferably about 40 ~ 50 °.Angle of inclination is set in above-mentioned scope, thus in dip plane 171, the light path of core 14 can be changed efficiently, and then the loss along with light path converting can be suppressed.
